Payments will be made as soon as administratively practicable following the close of a performance cycle. - A participant has no right to any award until that award is paid. - If the Committee determines, in its sole discretion, that a participant has engaged in any activity at any time, prior to the payment of an award, that the Committee determines was, is, or will be harmful to the Company, the participant will forfeit any unpaid award.

AMENDMENT. MODIFICATION, AND TERMINATION The Committee may amend, modify, or terminate the Plan and the terms applicable to any performance cycle at any time; provided, however, that no such action may adversely affect a participant's rights under the Plan subsequent to such time as negotiations or discussions which ultimately lead to a Change in Control have commenced.
